TOOLIOM 135A Gasless Flux Core MIG Welder 110V MIG Welder Flux MIG/Lift TIG/Stick 3 in 1 Welding Machine IGBT DC Inverter with LCD Display

I noticed after buying this Tolliom Welder that it is frequently returned. I was rather surprised because I didn't want to have to return it, I of course prefer MIG with gas but this was a really good price and I didn't need beautiful welds. Ordered this welder with a new helmet and some YESWELDER Gasless Flux Core Mig Wire, Mild Steel E71TGS .030-Diameter, 2-Pound Spool, 3-Packs all from Amazon. Sadly the purchase date was long before I could use the welder so my return window was closed - definitely was feeling nervous about having some problem. Got everything out of the box, followed the directions mostly (as far as my short attention span would allow) - installed the spool of wire and began manually threading it into the gun hose so that I would make sure not to bind the initial run in the overall sheath. Got the gun threaded and started welding, wasn't sure if I set the tension on the drive wheels for the mig wire feed properly. Ended up having a binding condition early, but was easily resolve with a re-run of the wire in the gun. This time I finally looked in the manual again and realized they have the feed wire button on the front, which slow starts and then consistently threads the mig wire in the gun. Worked flawlessly thereafter and I tightened the clamping wheel for the wire pretty tightly. Moving from gas it took some getting used to again (been years since I've done flux core welding) but came up to speed quick. Was welding angle iron to thin fence post pipe, older material. Mostly the challenge I had was that the welder was actually more powerful than I expected! Based on the thicknesses I measured, the welder was set to max in/sec but I actually had to back down (max is 420 but I backed it down to 300 or 350 depending on the weld and materials). Gotta say I'm very impressed, excellent penetration and strong welds. Depending on the location I was even able to get fairly good looking welds although I didn't really care about that, mostly was just going for structural strength as this project is for an electric gate kit on some cyclone fencing in the driveway. I don't know or understand what other people are reporting or why this would be frequently returned, I had good luck with it, welding outdoors, welding only partially or even unground zinc coated fence posts and raw steel, and my results were solid, strong welds. Surprisingly, would recommend this welder to anyone needing the ease and portability of a 120 VAC welder for around the ranch, farm or simple non-aesthetic around the house projects.

I bought this machine as a pure novelty. I personally own and use several top flight Miller, Htp, Lincoln and Everlast welders. I've worked with some of the best welding equipment available. Most of that equipment is in the multi-thousand dollar range. Lately I've been on a mission to see how good some budget equipment will do the job. This is the second machine I purchased on that quest. The first being a sub $300 plasma cutter(Aimco power cut-50). I was shocked how well that worked and I was surprised to see over 250 reviews on that product and having a 4.5 average star review. Now I must qualify this review before I detail my experience. I have welded for more than 20 years, I know a good deal about welding and many of the variables that challenge the novice or beginner. Welding is a detail oriented task that can challenge the best of all of us at times. Most times things work as they should, but sometimes when they don't the problem can be frustrating to figure out. Now straight to my experience this machine is very capable for what it costs, I will only be reviewing mig functions. If your looking to weld up to 1\4" in a single pass it'll do it easily. All my welds were done with c-25 shielding gas which will require the purchase of a regulator and a tank of shielding gas. This machine only comes with a gas hose and out of the box will only weld in flux core mode without purchasing anything else. No welding wire is included either. Setup of the machine is simple but yet complicated. For a novice there may be some frustration in understanding how to work this. Mine came setup in 4t mode. In 4t mode the first time you pull the trigger it starts feeding wire, it will continue to feed wire until you release the trigger and press and release it again. This is useful for long welds but is not a feature found commonly on most small welders. Great to have if you know what you're doing though. Most people are used to 2t mode, as long as you hold the trigger it'll feed wire as soon as you release the trigger it stops. You need to know what a good welding condition feels like to dial in any welder. For me on my project I was welding 3"x3" 1\4" thick angle iron doing mostly fillet welds and it took about a minute to get the gas, voltage and wire speed settings really close. The machine had a very stable arc and I was able to lay down a bead that was nearly text book perfect. I was shocked to be honest. I had my coworker try it as well, he laughed and said this thing welds better than the lincoln welder we have in our shop. While it will not match the thickness capabilities of that machine I believe the arc is better and more stable thanks to the inverter technology. For the beginner I can see this machine being frustrating at times. It's not as simple as a Miller or Everlast with pro set type functions. Pro set functions allow for fast acquisition of settings based on thickness of material to be welded and wire diameter with specific gas being used. For a novice it gets you in the ballpark of your initial setup faster. However those machines cost at least 5 times what this one does. Pros: Cost, lightweight, multivoltage(at 110v capacity will be reduced), good stable arc, decent mig gun. Cons: tricky setup for the novice, also be careful with the drive roll knob, I dropped mine and it rolled inside the machine behind the drive motor side. I had to disassemble the front of the machine to get it back., no regulator ( not a deal breaker), ground clamp is pretty cheap the cable is adequate but do yourself a favor and spend $10 on a better one., lastly warranty not sure how long the warranty is but the gold standard is 5 years for top flight welding equipment I certainly don't expect that for the price point on this product. In summary it's a decent little welder if you need something cheap to do some garage repair type work I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I can't speak to how long it'll last but for under $300 you really can't go wrong. My goal in this little experiment was to test the capabilities of an inexpensive machine and I was able to produce similar results that I normally achieve with much pricier equipment. As always results will vary with experience and I fully expect some people will get a machine that may have an issue. We are dealing with electronics I got a good one, someone else may not. For me this machine will be a machine I use for lighter duty on site work and for that I believe it'll do just fine.

To start, this review is for the TL-135M Pro. This thing is quite lightweight but very capable. So far, I have only used the flux-core wire feed mode and am blown away by the arc stability and ease of use compared to my old cheap transformer style. I loaded some .030 YESWELDER wire and consulted the included chart to adjust the wire speed (voltage is automatic/synergic) to the appropriate level for my material (1/8" mild steel) and proceeded to permanently fuse my test pieces. After a quick hit with a wire wheel, the welds cleaned up amazingly, having very minimal spatter (see photo). I am currently running off of a 20A 120V circuit and have yet to trip a breaker. It's not a Miller or Lincoln, but this thing punches way outside of its price point. I plan on purchasing the TIG torch and giving that a try as well as the stick welding option.

This was a surprisingly decent welder for the money. I've run it on mig and stick. Haven't bought the tig torch yet but a buddy told me it does well on tig. I only have four complaints. 1. Ground clamp is trash but easily changed. 2. The power rocker switch is not very robust and sometimes it won't turn off so you have to unplug the machine. 3. It's not a great smaw machine. It works well enough with 7018 but not its strong suit. Forget 6010. 4. The wing nut self tightens on the wire spool and clamp locks the spool. I swapped out the wing nut for a nylock and it works fine. Great starter welder for the price and I recommend for the casual project welder.

This welder packs a lot into a very reasonable price. It can do MIG, Flux MIG, Pulse MIG for Aluminum, Spool Gun, Lift TIG and Stick. The kit comes with very good quality accessories. The MIG gun and work clamp have nice long cords. They are rated to handle the 250 amps and use the mid size connector to the machine. I think they are called DINSE 35. Included are four different wire feed drive wheels, a graphite MIG liner, Power adapter to 110 v, well written manual, MIG gun, work clamp, and a large sticker with settings and cheat sheet. All excellent quality and properly rated. There is also an assortment of contact tips and nozzles and a spool adapter for larger spools. The controls are very well laid out with nice large knobs and buttons and a bright readable display. Pulse mode only works with MIG aluminum. According to the manual, pulse mode won't work with a spool gun. The machine has a European (Euro) connector. There is a 2 pin aircraft style connector for the spool gun motor. A spool gun would need to be 24 volts. Synergic mode works well. In MIG synergic, you can micro adjust the voltage -3 to +3 volts.. You can also adjust the inductance from -5 to +5 which should adjust the heat put out by the spark. The wire feed mechanism is metal. It is slightly awkward to get to but much better than others I have used. There is plenty of room for the larger spools. The spool holder has a proper tension system. Large spools use the included adapter. Some smaller spools may cause the retainer nut to tigthen when they rotate. My only complaint is that it is too easy to accidentally switch to pulse mode which changes the machine to Aluminum settings. Welding with the machine is nice. Synergic makes it easy to get that nice frying bacon sound and pulse MIG makes nice clean shiny welds.

I sold 3 older welders and bought this new one. I like it. I'm not a professional welder but every now and then need to make something up or fix something. Tooliom 200m fits the bill. I've tried it on 1/4 inch steel both flux and stick....followed the guide, and it did a nice job and penetration was good. No idea how long it will last but it seems to be a nice unit. Ground wire and lead wires are heavy enough for what I do, good ergonomics in touch handle as well.
